It\u2019s link building! A study by<a href=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/search-traffic-study\/#:~:text=Let%E2%80%99s%20look%20at%20the%20trend%20between%20these%20pages%20monthly%20organic%20search%20traffic%20and%20their%20backlinks%20from%20unique%20websites%20(referring%20domains)%3A\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Ahrefs<\/a> found that the number of referring domains to a webpage strongly correlates with its search engine ranking position.

It\u2019s confusing, time-consuming, and sometimes downright frustrating.<\/p>\n<p>So, there are numerous advantages that SEO experts can reap by outsourcing their link-building efforts.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Saves_time_and_resources\"><\/span><a><\/a>Saves time and resources<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>According to Seotribunal, <a href=\"https:\/\/seotribunal.com\/blog\/stats-to-understand-seo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">65%<\/a> of marketers affirm link building is the most challenging SEO tactic.

Otherwise, attempting to build such a team could drain your resources dry in no time.<\/p>\n<p>Undoubtedly, the most significant expense of running an in-house link-building team is typically the salaries. Here are figures gleaned from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glassdoor.com\/Salaries\/link-builder-salary-SRCH_KO0,12.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Glassdoor <\/a>website:<\/p>\n<p><em>The average link builder salary<\/em>. <em>Source<\/em>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glassdoor.com\/Salaries\/link-builder-salary-SRCH_KO0,12.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Glassdoor<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Imagine hiring a full-time link-building specialist.

The cost of each of these precious links can skyrocket to an eye-watering $500-$700 per placement.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, expect additional expenses such as benefits, recruitment and hiring, tools and technology, training and overhead costs. So, with an in-house specialist, one link can cost you $800+.<\/p>\n<p>When outsourcing to a third-party agency, companies only pay for the services rendered and are free from worrying about employee salaries, benefits, incentives and overhead costs.<\/p>\n<p>Ready to give outsourcing a shot?

Here\u2019s what <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchenginejournal.com\/googles-john-mueller-total-number-of-backlinks-doesnt-matter\/396638\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">John Mueller,<\/a> a senior search analyst at Google, says about it:<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cYou could go off and create millions of links across millions of websites if you wanted to, and we could just ignore them all.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For example, at <a href=\"https:\/\/editorial.link\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Editorial Link<\/a>, a top-rated link-building agency on Clutch, one quality link starts at $350. Sticking only to white-hat techniques, the Editorial Link team builds high-authority editorial links to create strong portfolios and bring natural traffic to linked websites.<\/p>\n<p>Through outreach efforts, the Editorial Link team gets top-quality backlinks from highly authoritative sources with a significant online presence: g2.com, Hubspot.com, Cloudways.com, Clickup.com, monday.com, Wordstream.com, Similarweb.com and many more.<\/p>\n<p>They do not charge a prepayment and invoice the clients only after link placement approval. The team strives for maximum transparency and is not willing to sell dozens of low-quality links (which will not make any impact on the results of their clients) for the same amount.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Transparency\"><\/span>Transparency<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>It\u2019s crucial to evaluate an agency\u2019s level of transparency before engaging in any business with them.<\/p>\n<p>Some important questions to ask:<\/p>\n<p>What methods and strategies will they use while working on your project?<\/p>\n<p>Do they charge upfront or only when results are delivered?<\/p>\n<p>Are they willing to share the results of their successful campaigns?<\/p>\n<p>Does the agency disclose domains before publication?<\/p>\n<p>The last point is especially critical. In this way, you get a chance to personally check whether the site is suitable for you to get a backlink. It\u2019s not rare for domains with high DR (70+) to sell the opportunity to place a guest post or a link. It is advisable to steer clear of websites that engage in the sale of guest posts and are monitored by Google.<\/p>\n<p>Generating spammy backlinks has the potential to harm search engine rankings, painting such a bleak picture:<\/p>\n<p><em>Traffic drop on a site that was sanctioned by Google in February 2020<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Working with a transparent agency can help minimize your risk and ensure you don\u2019t end up worse off than when you started.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Monitor_the_process\"><\/span><a><\/a>Monitor the process<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>While trusting a provider, it\u2019s important to keep an eye on the work process and make sure the agency follows the agreed guidelines and techniques.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Regular communication.<\/strong> Regular communication allows you to receive updates on the progress of your campaign and discuss any concerns or feedback you may have.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Performance metrics.<\/strong> To track the success of your link-building efforts, ask the agency to provide regular reports detailing the metrics you care about most. This could include information on the number of links acquired, traffic generated, and rankings improved.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quality control.<\/strong> While your agency may be responsible for acquiring links for your site, it\u2019s important to review the quality of the links they\u2019re obtaining. Use tools like Ahrefs, Moz or Majestic for that.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Red_flags\"><\/span><a><\/a>Red flags<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Once you know how to act to mitigate the risks of cooperating with a link-building team, it\u2019s time to tell you what you shouldn\u2019t overlook as you prepare to accept the provider\u2019s offer:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Need for speed.<\/strong> Building high-quality links is not a sprint, it\u2019s a marathon. Beware of services that claim to get you links in just a few days. They\u2019re likely using shady tactics like link farms.<\/p>\n<p><strong>False promises<\/strong>. If a service is 100% guaranteeing you a spot on the first page of Google, they might as well be claiming they can turn lead into gold.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The curious case<\/strong>.
